Preparing for Labor, Birth, and
Once the Baby is Born

Maimonides offers informative and helpful Childbirth Preparation Classes for all expectant and new moms. Childbirth classes are an important way to prepare for labor, birth, and the post-delivery period. Typically, it is recommended that women start classes during the 6th month of pregnancy. The learning sessions are dedicated to relieving any anxieties expectant parents may have, by covering a wide range of topics related to the birthing experience.

Maimonides Childbirth Preparation classes are taught by experienced and certified childbirth educators, who are committed to helping you prepare. We empower moms-to-be by showing them how to take control of their birthing experience, and teach partners different ways to offer support during labor and birth. We also provide the opportunity to discuss with our instructors any myths and fears you may have so as to clarify expectations.

Classes are offered from 7pm to 10pm every Tuesday for a total of 6 sessions. Every six weeks we begin a new class. (The classes do have a fee).

The Preparation Classes Include information on:

Labor and Delivery

Exercises and Breathing Techniques

Anesthesia / Analgesia

Cesarean Sections

Skin-to-Skin

The Importance of Breastfeeding

New Born Care

Baby Proofing

Infant Safety
